looking at photos of furbabies is good when when you feel down or low.

There is a place near me with therapy horses where you can go and just handle the horses, grooming them, leading them, feeding etc, interacting (no riding).
Good for confidence building and social interaction, also depression and anxiety.
I need to look into it more as I'm on the autism spectrum, also have depression and anxiety, so would prefer to socialise with horses than people to be honest!0 -

Agree, dont know what I'd do without my pets, especially the dogs. I used to work as a pet carer and that was just brilliant. I'm guessing Bob is a house rabbit? Love rats. They are so intelligent. Even the wild ones here, drinking and washing their faces at my fish pond. In the summer I've seen them swim into it to nick the fish food!0 -
@brujah81 So gorgeous! I'd love to have a Bengal, but I wouldn't be able to keep up with one (or afford one!)
@Ryley98 Love the ratkins! I had a wonderful rat named Tadpole the Warrior Princess 20 years ago while I was in uni. She was lovely, and would hang out under my (long) hair for hours, along the back of my neck. She'd also stand on her hind paws on my shoulder, holding onto my ear, when she wanted to look at something. She was such a good little companion.
She almost died multiple times:
#1: T was 1 of 3, and unbeknowst to me they were infected with a respiratory disease when I got them. I came home from class to find 1 dead and the other 2 very sick. The other one died on the way to the vet, but T held on and got antibiotics in time.
#2: T grew a benign tumour, which the vet was hesitant to remove because rats often don't survive surgery. Unfortunately, the tumour just kept on growing, and when it was about 2/3 the size of Tadpole, we had to have it removed!!
She survived the surgery no problem, and when the tumour regrew, she survived a 2nd surgery to remove it again!
#3: The "Warrior Princess" bit got added to her name after I got my first kitty, Kozmo. Koz was terrified of everything, including Tadpole, but eventually worked up the courage to approach T's cage. T was an escape artist, though, and was having none of this whole "cat in her space" thing! She wriggled between some bent bars which I hadn't noticed yet and launched herself at Kozmo. She landed on Koz's face and proceeded to cling on and scratch and bite while making the most godawful sound! Koz knocked her off before I could intervene and ran in terror! (Koz only received a couple of scratches on her nose, but for the rest of T's life, Kozmo would walk as far away from T's cage as possible when she had to pass by. ?)
Unfortunately, Koz knocked out one of T's eyes in the process, which the vet had to remove. This didn't seem to bother Tadpole one bit. Warrior Princess!
Tadpole lived to almost 4 years old.0 -
My beautiful 1.5 year-old, Nemi.
My other cat, Trouble (3 months older than Nemi and related in some complicated way) is very difficult to take pics of, so here's a bad one of the 2 of them:

@Waylay
Love your Tadpole tale. She was quite a girl! Rats unfortunately have a pretty bad public image which is such a shame as they are such intelligent creatures. Your story has reminded me of a friend I had at school who used to let her white mice walk about on her! She would put one on her shoulder and he'd go from there!
